Question: what actually reads /etc/pooper to configure the character? I can’t work out how that file’s contents ends up as module parameters and I’d love to know!

You are absolutely right, the /etc/pooper file was never loaded.

The code has been updated and now you can change the pooped char on the fly with something like :

`echo "<WHATEVER UTF-8 CHAR>" | sudo tee /sys/module/pooper/parameters/char_utf8`

/etc/pooper file and module unload/reload are no more needed :)

Thanks for clarifying, and implementing this essential feature!
